The fourth film follows the return of Keanu Reeves as the titular assassin who travels to various exotic locations to battle some of his toughest enemies.

Other stars include Lawrence Fishburne, Lance Reddick and Ian McShane, who return to the series with new faces such as Scott Adkins, Donnie Yen, Clancy Brown and Marko Zaror.
Led by Chad Stahelski John Wick: Chapter 4 once again, having done the previous three films in the series. Shay Hatten co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Finch. Stahelski is also directing the project with Erica Lee and Basil Iwaniek through production houses Summit Entertainment and Thunder Road Pictures. Plenty of positive reviews poured in on Twitter, foreshadowing the action-packed “bloody killing festival” fans can expect. Calling it pure adrenaline rush, other critics confirm that it is both “daring and evil” and would even go so far as to call it “one of the best action movies of all time”.

#JohnWick4 absolutely rocks, from start to finish. Keanu Reeves finds new ways to impress with mind-blowing action and surrounds himself with incredible newcomers to the franchise.
Chapters 1-3 built around the world and chapter 4 could work with all of that.

#JohnWick4 continues its brutal and brutal action. We finally get the story’s conclusion and the movie takes the action to the next level with armored ninjas, fiery weapons, epic one-off scenes, and more. Donnie Yen is definitely the icing on the cake. pic.twitter.com/7N0utxj772

John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the best action movies ever made. My jaw hit the floor at least six times. One section on the Dragon’s Breath shotgun is just action movie goodness at its best. Donnie Yen steals the show. Easily the best in the series #JohnWick4 #JohnWickChapter 4 pic.twitter.com/VBsZxC6bhu

#JohnWickChapter 4 it’s fucking awesome. I literally had to pick my jaw off the ground from some crazy and inventive set pieces.
You’re not prepared for what Keanu will do with the Dragon Breath Shotgun.
Also @DonnieYenCT brought his game A.
I can’t wait to see it again. pic.twitter.com/gf6sm5Ijal

#JohnWick4 it’s an action-packed, bloody killing fest, and that’s why it’s good! I’m usually not into action in my movies, but Stahelski makes every frame count. Yes, it’s funny. Yes, it’s video game logic. Yes, it’s extra as hell. Yes, I will watch again! pic.twitter.com/D56ODsTTcq

One of the greatest action movies ever made #JohnWick4 beats all 3 of its predecessors in terms of storytelling, scope and stakes, countless astounding sets, hard to fathom in one movie, Bill Skarsgård kills, hellishly exciting conclusion to the franchise (?) 9.5/10 pic.twitter.com/2jDwXle21J

#JohnWick4A three-hour working time makes sense when you go *so* hard. Only the third act… just wonderful. pic.twitter.com/TDCs74aGV7

I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4’s nearly three-hour running time, but the movie deserves it. It’s an epic game with a smart pace that never lets the action get exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of newcomers to the show, but Donnie Yen is the MVP. #JohnWick4 pic.twitter.com/xyMbLXmXUM

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 was as awesome and awesome as I expected.
I didn’t mind the long working hours, because the constant action of the Arc de Triomphe alone was worth it.
And gun-fu Keanu Reeves VS. Donnie Yen lived up to expectations.#JohnWick4 #JW4 #KeanuReeves #DonnieYen pic.twitter.com/v6E7wAB70Q— Rama Screen (@RamasScreen) March 6, 2023
#JohnWick4 it’s a damn good time. Great action and fight sequences. Donnie Yen is an AMAZING addition to the series. He is the climax of the film. Plenty of surprises in this one that will bring a divisive ending. See this one in IMAX. pic.twitter.com/MMCW54KydQ

Sometimes, #JohnWick4 the video game seems to come to life. (And I mean that as a compliment.) So many of Keanu Reeves’ fight sequences felt like boss battles. I like how the franchise continues to find creative ways to turn mundane objects into deadly weapons. pic.twitter.com/JA1K5kTG3n

This is the greatest of the series with amazing photos. Donnie Yen, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rina Sawayama and Bill Skarsgaard are amazing additions to the cast! But the action is the star and the movie features some of the best shooting in the franchise! -Mike M
